Where in the World is Cat?

So, I'm sitting in my room at 6am on a school day, listening to CNN radio for election results, writing a paper on the political elite of Brazil and watching the never-ending snow fall outside of my 13th-story window. One would think that most students would be pretty miserable to be up at this hour, but I'm really loving it. I'm tired as hell, but I kind of feel like I'm re-living college a bit here...late nights/early mornings with papers, staying awake on caffiene and politics-induced adrenaline. Now, the difference is I'm a step up from where I was last time I was in a scenario like this, and half-way around the world in an international hub. All I can say is life is good. Thanks to all of you who have given me your love and support , I really wouldn't have been able to get here or receive this peaceful moment of happiness without you.

So, many of you may have heard or read from the news of the political demostrations in Moscow. As tempted as I was to put myself in the middle of it, I this time decided to be a good student and stay home and work on my increasing pile of homework. However, my Polish neighboors (who are exchange students and have no work!) DID put themselves in the middle of the protests and were kind enough to share with me some of their photos. So, please - take a look and enjoy. It's kinda of hard to believe that we're in the 21st century when you take a look at some of these photos.
